A muffin is a plain tea cake but here where I live it's a barm cake and a tea cake always has sultanas in. In Durham a muffin/whatever is called a stotty cake but a bit further North, in Northumberland, it's a bap. Go to South Yorkshire/Derbyshire and it's a flour cake.

Anyway, what I want to know is - what happened to the Sally Lunn? My aunt used to bake them for her shop and I haven't seen one for donkey's years.
